week five, sunday.

[Once again, to the hospital he goes! Carlos is in the hallway, staring at his right wrist while he waits for him to show up. He'll glance in his direction once he hears his footsteps.]

It's been a while. Welcome back.

[uncleanse]

Mm, it's been a busy few weeks, as I'm sure you've noticed.

[ as he approaches, he glances at carlos's wrist, where i assume his watch is... ]

What are you looking at?

[tricycles]

[Wrong arm! But he's never had his watch anyway because, uh, canonpoints.]

Nothing. [Showing him his wrist, and then shrugging.] I know, I've been keeping an eye on things. You guys have been working hard.

[uncleanse]

[ in my defense i still have only played 999 so i don't know shit leave me alone ]

It must be rather lively on that side, by now... perhaps more so than ours?

[tricycles]

[... He drops his arm, frowning.]

Don't take this the wrong way, but I preferred it when it was just Polly and I on the other side.

[uncleanse]

Ah . . . a little too lively for your tastes, then?

[tricycles]

I guess you could call it that.

[uncleanse]

... Dare I ask for further clarification?

[tricycles]

[Bluntly:]

People have to die to get to the other side, Nikkari.

[uncleanse]

Ah. That's fair.

Still . . . better that their souls and spirits are in your care, rather than lost completely? From the conversations I've had, every single person I've summoned has done their best to assure me that they're all right over there.

[tricycles]

Is it?

[The answer comes a little more tersely than Nikkari might expect from him, and Carlos... pauses after he's said it. Closes his eyes. Takes a deep breath. Rubs his face.]

No, you're right. They're... safe. It's just frustrating to know everything they went through, and being unable to do anything to stop it.

[uncleanse]

[ that gets a raised eyebrow from him. and a. flick of his tail i guess. i just now remembered this is still during furry week. ]

I know it goes without saying, but it sounds like you've had a lot on your mind lately. Even more so than usual, it seems.
